REMEMBER

Chapter 13

Bellas POV

Bullets follow my trail every step I take. I run as fast as I can before sliding right into the mechanic area where Edward is. He catches me before I can seriously hurt myself and rights me on my feet.

"The others?" He asks.

"They all made it with Jacob," I tell him as he opens a hatch in the floor.

"I want you to jump down and move quickly because I'm coming right after you." He says, lowering me down. It's a bit of a drop for me since I'm so short, before I know it Edward is letting me go and I'm landing on my feet. He follows me and grabs my hand, as we take off running into a pitch-black tunnel. Edward obviously knows where he's going, if it were just me, I'd be lost.

I don't know how long we ran, but when we came to an abrupt stop, I held my breath, listening for everything and anything even though my lungs screamed for air.

"Okay, let's go." Edward releases my hand to go, and I blindly reach for him, a little panicked. I can hear a strange clank sound before cool air hits my face. Edward grabs my hands again and places them on a cold bar ... it s a ladder. I climb up and pull myself through a hole about the same size as the one we came though. One of the first things I noticed was a Jeep driving away. Once out, I duck behind a parked car, looking around for anything unusual.

Edward pulled himself out and crouched down next to me. "You okay?" he asks, touching my cheek with his thumb. I nod. "Here, check your clip, reload and put this one in your back pocket." He hands me two clips and then a silencer.

Once I'm ready, Edward scares the shit out of me by kicking the tire next to us and cursing under his breathe. "Edward, not now," I say.

"I should go back, make sure everyone got out." He nearly growls, "I knew it was that fucking family, Carlisle insisted on waiting."

"I saw them, Carlisle and the others; they made it out with Jacob."

"Esme, and Alice," he asks, I nod along.

"Jasper, Garret and Emmett," I add.

"Was anyone hurt?" he asks.

I shake my head no. "Emmett was covered in blood but I don't know if any was his."

He nods, "Let's go."

We run through back yards, carports and across empty streets, and every once in a while we'd hear a pop. I don't know where we're going or if Edward even knew but I know I'd follow him anywhere.

When we climb the steps to a porch, Edward motions to me and I freeze as I watch as he knocks twice, pauses, three times slow, pauses, four times fast. It's a code.

The door flies open, and a little old lady holding a shotgun is there. I nearly want to laugh but hold it in.

Janey put it down," Edward says cautiously.

She lowers it. "Edward?" she asks.

"Janey, please, I don't like that angle either," Edward tells her.

She does this little jump thing before placing the shotgun on a side table.

"Oh, Edward, get in here!" Janey says.

Edward is quick to grab my hand before he's pulled inside. "Hey, I want you to meet Bella." He says pulling her back. "I need her to stay here while I go find the others."

My heart starts to race, Edward can't leave me behind. "No." I say the same time the little old lady says, "No problem."

"I need you to stay." Edward leaves the woman to walk closer to me. "Stay with her, she's my grandma, protect her for me."

Janey snorts, and I couldn't agree more with her. "Please, don't leave me." It nearly comes out a whisper.

I watch as his Adam s apple bobs up and down, it's not that I don't want him to go save his family, it's more like I want him to take me with him. "Bella... I promise I won't be gone long. I'll come back."

I shake my head, "I want to go with you. I could have your back, you wouldn't be alone."

"You're so brave; you're amazing and strong..." I start shaking my head no. "You are Bella," he looked torn, "But I need you to stay here, please, can you do this for me?"

"I-I..." I wanted to argue, but Edward cheated... He leaned down and brushed his lips against mine before kissing me fully. It was deep, one that twisted my stomach in all the right ways; my heart pounding in my chest, it took my breath away. My eyes closed, I can feel it all, this beauty that is Edward Cullen. He is beautiful.

I feel a loss the second he steps away, a near ache in my chest, and when I open my eyes... he's gone.

I gasp at the loss as I turn to face Janey. She has this strange look on her face, "Oh my dear girl, thank you." She says, "You've brought my grandson back to life."

With my gun fully loaded, I pace the living room floor. How did this happen? One second he was kissing me and the next, he was gone. I should go... A bright light flashed across the window, and I'm quick to drop out of sight. Surprise, Janey copied my movements just as fast. We both stare at each other for a second before I crawl towards the window. Looking outside I see two police cars, their lights weren't flashing, but their spotlights were on.

"Police," I tell Janey in a quite tone.

"Ugh," she says, "Bella, did you hear that?"

I freeze, holding my breath to listen. In the distance, we can hear gunfire and the cops out front take off.

I want to go, I want to help so badly, but Edward said to stay...

"I'll be fine here alone," Janey says. "I would feel much better if you went to find Edward and the others; if you brought back my family."

Without another word, I made my way to the door. After making sure it was clear, I shut the door and make my way through the shadows following the sounds of gunshots. I stop when I make it to a backyard. Hiding behind a playhouse, I watch as Riley is slammed to the hood of a police car in the alleyway.

This isn't good, I can't kill a cop, but I know Riley being arrested can't happen. Looking around the yard, a couple feet away I notice a wooden baseball bat. My jaw clamps closed. I know this could kill the cop anyways, but it's better than shooting him. As quietly as possible, I grab the bat and jump the fence. I hear clearly the cop giving Riley orders, and he's resisting, cussing out the cop.

I get the bat ready, gun tucked uncomfortably away with the silencer still on. I make eye contact with Riley who quickly throws a crooked smile my way, just like Edward would have.

He leans away from the cop, and I swing. The bat vibrates all the way through my arms as the cop slumps to the ground.

"Screw Edward, run away with me, marry me?!" Riley says making me laugh at him. "What are you doing out here, hot stuff, I thought Edward would have gotten you to the safe house?"

"He did, he left, and I stayed, but then I saw cops. I want to help." I tell him honestly.

He sighs, wondering if he should take me back or not, I'm sure. "All right, stay hot on my ass, let's go find our family."

A few blocks over I spot Alice ducked behind a car, someone is lying in front of her, and two men are walking closer. I hear sirens off in the distance, but they're not close.

At the same time, Riley and I aim and shoot the men dead, it's just lucky we aimed for different ones.

When we approach her, the person is not someone I recognized, but there's a large black V across his shirt on his chest, just like the other man Emmett had killed with his bare hands. "Alice?" I crouch down in front of her.

"I've never..." She trails off.

She's never killed someone before ... people act differently I guess. It's not as though I wasn't affected by the guy I killed, he plagued my nightmares. But at the time it happened, I couldn't freak out; it was all a life or death situation. The same goes for Alice, but here she sits.

"Alice, baby, look at me." Riley says, "You need to get back to Janey's, can you do that?"

"Yeah, of course." Slowly I watch Alice snap out of it.

"What happened to the others?" I ask.

Her eyes widen, "We got split up, ambushed, Edward found me. He saved me and sent me this way, only I was followed."

"Get going, call me if everyone shows up," Riley says getting Alice on her feet and moving. For someone so small, Alice can disappear fast.

Sirens are getting louder, and as we move closer, we can hear a few gunshots. When we round the corner, I can't help but smile. Esme has just knocked a guy out with her bare hands.

"She's taken quite a few self-defense classes over the years," Riley tells me.

I just laugh before continuing over, I shoot a guy who was sneaking up on Carlisle, and he does the same for me. Only the guy who was sneaking up on me was a cop, I'm not sure how I feel about that. I will let all the cop killing go to them; I have to draw the line somewhere, don't I?

Just after shooting another guy, someone grabs my waist and pulls me over, I gasp, ready to fight when Edwards s voice is in my ear.

"I left you with Janey." he says.

I look up to him and before I can answer he's shooting someone else behind me. "Janey wanted me to bring her family home, Alice should be there already," I tell him.

He groans, "I thought Janey would have kept you there."

"Hey, she saved my ass, I'm quite happy to have her here," Riley says walking past us.

Edward raises an eyebrow at me. "He was being detained by a cop when I found him," I tell Edward.

"And she knocked his ass out!" Riley howls with laughter.

"You're amazing, Bella, and a bit unpredictable, but wow," Edward says, staring down at me with a whole different look in his eyes.

"I asked her to marry me!" Riley shouted, making Edward again turn back to confused.

Damn him, "I didn't say yes!" I yell back, and Riley is on a roll, bodies are piling up all around and yet here we are having this strange conversation. I guess this is normal to them.

Looking all around, everything started moving in slow motion. Or, maybe, I started to realize more things at once.

Esme was faced one way fighting off a guy when another came up behind her and stabbed her in the abdomen. A loud, ear-piercing scream comes from my lips as I aim and pull the trigger.

I hate it, leaving Edward again, but I do what they ask of me. I cover Carlisle the entire way back to Janey's house as he carries an unconscious Esme. I shot two more guys... they happened to be cops in our way. Carlisle still assured me that they weren't real cops or crooked cops.

It still twisted my stomach.

"Mom! Mommy," Alice shouts out when she sees us on the front porch.

"Watch the perimeter!" Janey tells me before they all disappear downstairs through a door.

I turn and catch my own reflection in the mirror. I don't recognize the girl there. She's labored, trying to catch her breath, her normally, large brown eyes are black and huge. Her hair is windblown from running, and she's covered in Esme's blood. I don't exactly feel scared, maybe for Esme, but I feel unusually calm. I just want everyone here. I want my family back.

They are family.

I look away and back to the front door willing Edward to appear.

AN: not as long as the others but I felt it still worked.

I'll get to work on the next chapter as soon as I can, thanks for reading!
